About

Fogbender is an Oakland, California-based B2B customer support platform — backed by Y Combinator (W22) with $550,000 in total funding from Y Combinator and Davidovs Venture Collective — providing API and developer tool companies with an embeddable team-to-team messaging widget that brings the collaborative nature of Slack's shared channels to customer support, enabling customer teams and vendor teams to communicate in a real-time shared workspace rather than asynchronous email tickets. Founded in 2020 by CEO Andrei Soroker and reaching $1 million in annual revenue in 2024 with a 6-person team, Fogbender targets the specific support model where the customer is a technical team rather than an individual user — requiring a communication channel where multiple people from both the customer's engineering team and the vendor's support team can collaborate on issues simultaneously.

About

Dusty Robotics is a Mountain View, California-based construction robotics company — backed with $69.5 million in total funding from Root Ventures, Scale Venture Partners, Canaan Partners, GRIDS Capital, and Cantos — providing general contractors and construction teams with the FieldPrint Platform: a BIM-to-field robotic layout solution that uses the FieldPrinter robot to print precise floor markings from digital building models, replacing the manual chalk-line and tape-measure layout process that construction crews use to mark where walls, electrical, plumbing, and structural elements will be built. The FieldPrinter 2 (launched January 2024) lays out 10,000-15,000 square feet per day with one operator at 1/16 inch accuracy — approximately 10x faster than manual layout methods — and has printed over 100 million square feet across thousands of projects for customers including DPR, Turner, and Skanska. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2024 in the robotics category. Founded in 2018.
